Does it support finding sidewalks with cycleways? #8

What about cycleways and footways which are on sidewalks but are not footway tag. Is this detected?

For example S3 example here. Tag highway=cycleway, foot=yes next to the street is usually actually a sidewalk with cycleway and footway. But I'm not sure if adding footway=sidewalk is correct here. But making two ways out of it - one for cycleway and one for footway is also too much, since it would be hard to make both paths visible on a map since they are so close together.

Another way of tagging shared footway and cycleway is highway=path, foot=designated, bicycle=designated this is in JOSM presets.

Thanks for checking in on this. I think the key thing here is that if it's a highway=cycleway with foot=yes, it's primary purpose is cycling, and it's incidental that pedestrians are allowed as well.

I can do some digging on this for more reference. For now we've got plenty of work cut out using just highway=footway as our first check.
